"Please, decide that you are going to be one of those who will do what you can do, every moment, every day, to free yourself and those around you from the oppression of a belief in an angry, punishing, vengeful, and violent God….Do this in whatever way presents itself to you. Out of your intention and determination those opportunities will come to you in the day-to-day living of your life. Open your eyes and you'll see them all around you."
Tomorrow's God, Our Greatest Spiritual Challenge - Neale Donald Walsch

DRAWING THE LARGER CIRCLE, HOW TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
Jack and Cornelia Addington
The authors claim that it is imperative in our times to send out ever-widening circles of love, especially to those who find it difficult to love.
|
|
| 1 |
"Within each person is a center of love....Now is the time to send it forth, like ripples from a pebble cast into the still waters of a lake in ever-widening circles."
|
|
| 2 |
"God is love, God is infinite and everywhere present in exactly the same degree."
|
|
| 3 |
"The brotherhood of man is bound together by love."
|
|
| 4 |
"Love is all-inclusive. Every small attempt on our part to let the love of God express through us brings us closer to the ultimate cosmic experience of all-inclusive love."
|
|
| 5 |
"Now, we see that if love does not supplant hate we will destroy ourselves. Hate, resentment and fear are destructive. Love, rightly used, is constructive and it is through love and understanding that a strong and enduring civilization will emerge."
|
|
| 6 |
"There are no barriers where love is the bridge."
|
|
| 7 |
"Each person is a center of infinite love….Through recognition, the use of infinite love within a person can grow."
|
|
| 8 |
"God's love is always creative. It knows exactly what to do and how to do it. It is through love that all progress and advancements are made."
|
|
| 9 |
"Love is everywhere present, in and through all of life. It only needs to be recognized and used, and when we understand this we find that there is no obstacle that can stand in its way."
|
|
| 10 |
"Perfect love casts out fear. Perfect love is right within you, ready to be sent forth in ever-widening circles. Learn how to release that perfect love within that casts out fear."
|
|
| 11 |
"Eventually we come to see that we cannot afford to resent another human soul. It makes us miserable. Eventually it makes us physically ill. It is therefore imperative that we send out those ever-widening circles of love. We must especially send them out to those who have despitefully used us, and might have rejected our love."
|
|
| 12 |
"There is an old saying, 'It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.' When we tell someone 'I love you', when we spread love, even the little that each one is able to do, we are lighting a candle in the darkness and our light shines a long way."
|
|
| 13 |
"If people seem to be difficult, I silently bless them until enemies become friends – friends who have caused me to experience more love. There is no problem which love cannot heal. For this I give thanks."
|
|
| 14 |
"Love is a fire that kindles its first embers in the narrow nook of the private bosom, tossing a wandering spark out of another private heart, glows and enlarges until it forms and feeds upon the multitudes of men and women, upon the universal heart of all, and so lights the whole world, and all nature with its generous light." Ralph Waldo Emerson
|
|
| 15 |
"The love we realize within ourselves and pass on to others will bring sanity to a disturbed world."
|
|
| 16 |
"None of us achieve emotional maturity until we have learned not only to love our neighbor, to say 'I care' and mean it, but have learned to love ourselves."
|
|
| 17 |
"I know no feeling of separation from any living soul for we are all one as the love of God works in and through His perfect creation."
|
|
| 18 |
"What is love?....It is the sweetness of life; it is the sweet, tender, melting nature of God, flowing up through his seed of life into the creature, and of all things making the creature most like unto himself, both in nature and operation." Isaac Pennington, 'Works', 1681
|
|
| 19 |
"Man, the image and likeness of God, the very expression of God, is one with the Presence; but only his recognition of his oneness will bring unity into his experience."
|
|
| 20 |
"The Path is constructed by the aspirant as the spider spins its web out of the centre of his own being."
|
|
| 21 |
"There is no condition – no matter how fixed and intolerable – which cannot be overcome by love. There is no person, regardless of what depths he has sunk to, who cannot be helped, improved, and lifted up by love."
|
|
| 22 |
"In Truth, I have never been separated from God for a single instant."
|
|
| 23 |
"Truly, 'all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose' (Romans 8:28). What is his purpose? – love shared, love made manifest, love everywhere present."
|
|
| 24 |
"Love is always received – it may take time for it to be understood, but it is always received for what it is."
|
|
| 25 |
"Ask yourself in everything you do, 'Is this the loving thing to do? Is this the loving answer? Am I letting God's love live through me as I take this step?'"
